As Euro 2024 kicks off, Ronaldo will have several milestones within his grasp. He can become the oldest scorer in Euro history if he finds the net, surpassing the record held by Ivica Vastic. He is also just one assist away from breaking the record for most assists, co-held by Karel Poborský. Additionally, Ronaldo aims to surpass Figo's record for the most chances created in the tournament. Notably, a quadruple in any game could see him exceed Michel Platini's record for the most goals scored in a single European Championship edition.
